Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 337 Mirror Change
[Time Stop], as the most powerful spell in the transformation spell family, is not cast casually.

Basically, except for a few legendary wizards of the conjuration department who can use the legendary spell [Eternal Freedom] to become immune to time stop, only gods can be exempt from this terrible spell.

The power of time is so terrifying that even if [Time Stop] is only a pseudo-time stop achieved by accelerating the caster, it still possesses a power that ordinary people cannot resist.

Vecna ​​knew very well that in this world, no one had greater power than him, and even he himself could not resist the power of stopping time.

That's why he was so shocked.

In fact, Nemesis was not very surprised by this.

The immunity to time stop was not sudden. Ever since the day when he first semi-awakened the third gem in the library, Nemesis could feel a change in himself.

This change does not mean that he is immune to time, but his senses are undergoing a change.

Sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste.

He is slowly losing his five senses. His once impressive hearing and vision are constantly deteriorating. From the time he first entered this world until now, he can feel the continuous weakening of his five senses.

His eyes couldn't even see things ten meters away!
But the amazing thing is that none of this affected him.

The feeling was very strange. If I had to describe it, it would be that he was aware of and could even feel the weakening of his five senses. But the reality was that it had no side effects on him at all.

Instead, he could see more clearly about everything in the outside world.

It was as if he was using his soul to communicate directly with everything in the world. Although he could not see or hear, the information brought by his soul allowed his brain to confirm as usual that the fire in front of him was so hot and the fragrance of the flower in his hand was so charming.

With such changes, Nemesis was convinced that when his five senses completely degenerated, he would probably awaken something very new.

For the time being, this feeling is very consistent with the concept of "divine thoughts" in the online novels he read in his previous life.

This is also the reason why he is immune to [Time Stop].

It's not that he is immune to time, but because the special nature of the spell [Time Stop] is based on the changes in the five senses of the caster and the recipient.

The caster continuously speeds up his thoughts and speed, thus achieving an effect similar to [Time Stop]. However, Nemesis' soul has undergone some changes, so that he no longer relies on ordinary five senses to receive information from the material world, thus transcending the system of ordinary creatures to receive information, and capturing the actions of the lich with a perception that is tens of millions times more sensitive than ordinary five senses.

To put it simply, when Vecna ​​accelerates himself, Nemesis's divine consciousness will detect Vecna's movements, thus breaking the basis of [time stop] - the principle of non-contact of reference frames.

Nemesis thus also gained the same acceleration effect.

In fact, if Nemesis were to ask Oghma, or any other god, he would know that everything he was experiencing was exactly the same as the god's ability to be immune to time stopping.

This is why Nemesis is not immune to time.

If he encountered the real [Time Stop Maze] set up by the legendary lich in the demiplane, no matter how powerful his divine power was, it would be useless.

The moment time stopped, Emma kicked the stone pillar behind her with her boots, and the blue light of the Phantom Step enveloped her whole body. When the soul fire in the lich's eyes turned into a false afterimage, her true body had already appeared three inches behind the skeleton - the moment the sword cut into the robe, the green light of the Emerald Sword flowed along the blade into the gap between the lich's ribs.

"A trifle." As the lich's jaws opened and closed, Emma's sword was suddenly clamped by an invisible force. Green light burst from her bone fingers, and the rays of disintegration came straight to her face. The invisible force field exploded in front of her nose, and Emma fell backwards to the ground with the recoil. She heard Nemesis' staff chanting some ancient tune, and the transparent walls of the force field cage rose from the ground - but were swallowed by disintegration the moment they touched the lich's robes.

Nemesis continued to chant the spell and activated the power gem's ability again, and his health dropped sharply to 50/60.

Seventh-ring transformation spell——[Mirror Transformation]!
An extremely powerful instant death spell that instantly transforms the victim into a bronze mirror. Unlike a transmutation spell, which can restore the victim to their original state, the victim of [Mirror Transmutation] will remain in this state forever.

The main reason for casting this spell was that Nemesis had a deep doubt as to whether the undead creatures in an imaginary world could be protected by a divine spell like the [Anti-Death Barrier].

You know, although undead creatures are immune to instant death spells, the special instant death spell "Mirror Transformation" is not something that liches are immune to!

Runes flashed in Nemesis's dark purple pupils, and a liquid as smooth as mercury rushed towards Vecna ​​at the speed of a torrent.

Vic felt the danger instinctively and immediately prepared to teleport away.

"Now!" Nemesis shouted.

Emma pulled out the [Dimension Anchor] scroll that had fallen from the necromancer she had killed near Rime Town and tore it open. The indigo arcane flame burned the scroll to ashes, and an invisible force immediately imprisoned the space around Vecna, completely blocking his teleportation ability.

"Enough!" The lich's roar set off a storm of negative energy, and the spell of the Nine-ring Death Circle began to emerge on the ground.

But at this critical moment, [Mirror Transformation] hit the lich's body, and he immediately froze, and the spell that was about to take shape was extinguished.

With a series of crisp "click" sounds, Vic's body from head to toe slowly turned into a mirror-like material. Cracks kept appearing on the smooth mirror surface, and then the whole thing collapsed and reorganized into a bronze mirror.

Emma moved as fast as lightning, leaped into the air like the wind, and chopped the bronze mirror into pieces with one sword.

"Huh, finally killed it." Emma lifted her hair easily, looking very happy.

But Nemesis saw a hint of hesitation in the other's eyes.

When Nemesis walked towards the stone platform, Emma suddenly called him from behind: "Wait, Nemesis."

Nemesis looked back at her with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Emma hesitated for a moment, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and she shook her head: "Nothing, just go and destroy the life box."

Nemesis nodded and pointed to the walnut box on the stone platform. The aroma of honey mixed with the simple smell of maple leaves emanated from the box, bringing an intoxicating warmth. Green light condensed in Nemesis's hand, which was a force that was enough to destroy everything.

When the dissociation spell was about to reach the core of the life box, the sound of a sword breaking through the air came from the left. He instinctively leaned back, and Emma's sword cut through three strands of silver hair. The black energy attached to the sword's edge corroded the stone pillar behind him into honeycomb-like holes.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to 'go home', Emma?" The wizard's figure instantly appeared dozens of meters away. He tilted his head and looked at Emma expressionlessly: "Or is this your home?"

At this time, Emma stood there silently. When she heard Nemesis' words, she suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were already covered with darkness. The black-eyed swordsman showed a strange smile, and the afterimage of the swordsinger suddenly filled the entire space: "You found me."
